Safety

Rail organisations are experts at managing safety, but often rely on manual processes to comply with technical standards. Manual processes are labour intensive and difficult to audit, and residual risks remain.

Working in the Danger Zone

Maintenance teams often enter the danger zone to take measurements, posing safety risks for personnel. High resolution LiDAR datasets and software can replace most manual measurements.

Worksite Safety

Sighting distances can be impacted by vegetation, terrain and new infrastructure. Correctly indexed LiDAR can be used to model sighting distances prior to worksite set up.

Train / Platform Interface

The interface between passengers and trains is a key risk for railway networks. Identifying problem locations requires time consuming measurements that place staff in the danger zone.

Integration of New Rollingstock

New train projects present challenges for existing operations:

Door locations must prioritise passenger safety and consider existing platform infrastructure and terrain.

The kinematic behaviour of new trains must be understood so that infrastructure modifications can be addressed early on.

The sighting to existing signals must be considered when new train designs change the train driver’s field of view.

Level Crossing Assessments

A key safety concern with level crossings is maintaining adequate sighting distances for road users. High resolution, precision LiDAR can support desktop assessments to identify level crossings for safety enhancements.

How Our LiDAR Solutions Can Help

• We implement full measurement and reporting solutions to automate routine inspections.
• Our Line of Sight module supports the safe establishment of worksites.
• Our platform algorithms report at high resolution to pinpoint problem locations quickly.
• Our signal sighting module supports ‘signal at stop’ and ‘signal in motion’ assessments.
• Our desktop workflows allow full ALCAM assessments of level crossings.
